a suspected russian mafia boss is it being treated in

a moscow hospital after an attempt on his life nicknamed grandpa his son he is thought to have fallen victim to a gangland turf war reports say the hit man missed of the target with several shots before scaping from a nearby building. now it's time for our special report for almost sixty years the residents of the puerto rican island of vieques has have endured their home being used as a firing range by the u.s. navy however when a misfired shell killed an islander a harsh new light was shed on the economic and environmental problems endured by the locals.

because. exercise. who is in charge. and i explained to him. what's going to happen. when there's a forty percent unemployment rate. and. doesn't work when you knock at the door. a lot of this really. doesn't have a food stamp office i have to tell you in english what he said because that's how he said to me well you can go to the food stamp. exercises and i said

for the first time in the history of. problems. i met with a fisherman i came in. we won't be able to fish for twenty eight days. they said to me. what are we going to do. the only work they came to mind at the moment was fight. going to fight. he went to the east of. it. and there were american airplanes. through. the. whole he said you know.

people think. three. one when the struggle. they would say look at those crazy dreamers we felt rejected by the people of. some of them and say you're crazy how are you going to take. and we just kept at it and kept going but some changes began in the struggle to get the navy out from street fighting to political fighting. if this very neighborhood when my mother was still alive one sunday we felt the rumble of five bombs explode i threw myself to the ground and yelled my god they're

bombing us. whether this is an accident that could have killed us after that and also. fell in the garbage dump during a lunch between the legs of the workers another incident or accident or error so we had been alerting people. about the chance of an accidental killing a civilian. all that happened was foreseen like the book by god. we had already created a climate of danger and uncertainty. the only thing that was missing occurred when david was killed. given that we can't do and warning that something bad would happen what else could we expect we said

a bomb would kill someone said and done. when we went to camp garcia and the people who were there to argue look none of us are in a position to me i just got here. about the need to handle things and then i will have to wait even the captain from our police department will arrive soon and you can ask him all your question. we went to camp garcia and there was a friend. demanding that we be given information yet. then we in the families had to know what happened to our brothers. there's no wife here there are children here there are brothers and mama's here there's a father trying to get information and the first thing a mother is told is we can't give you information while the hill without. one men died and five others also civilians were injured they were taken to the naval base

on the mainland that's all we know who'll give us names are the injured mcginnis and the dead man is them again is. yes the kansas. for years a small group of activists have protested the bombings and the navy's experiments with new weapon systems and be a case but on april nineteenth one thousand nine hundred nine that made sinusoidal the biggest a civilian security guard on the base was killed when a u.s. marine fighter aircraft missed his target by more than a mile and dropped to five hundred pound bombs on his post. his death ignited the simmering anger of islanders who had been subjected to years of nerve rattling blast and alarming contamination.

across was taken on a boat all the way by sea to the impact. in homage to that lead from his community and placed on the top of a tank target. but i think that. and the remembrance service. you know nobody. before.

look at me. as a robber appreciate it i'm staying here we can cross on. somebody places if they load up david we will be you know. let them take us this is ours you know between unite how many people can they put in jail let them fill the jails with our prisoners like if you don't give it a second thought even if you've been arrested already we have to continue don't do it for yourselves do it for your children do it for this man do it for me i don't know. where the first place.

and the rest is history. but for that idea we transformed everything we gave. possibly but it seems to me as volunteers get their writing more more organization . they got a pretty confidence and since there was no reaction from them they. really what i think happened is the navy sure very badly you could have cleared out the whole

thing on day one you will it's already marine assault. but they didn't do it they did not react. it gave the civilians an opportunity to bring in technicians scientists experts and do some testing that the navy would never have a while so the longer we stayed there the more scientific reports were coming out which really made their position worse and raise our awareness or the fact that this is really a matter of survival. people could go in there and study the land study what the contamination in particular is you know what kind of heavy metals what's been being used out there and then put some real pressure on the navy what kind of bombs what's happening why are we all getting sick.

despite persistent protest the united states insisted that because it was critical to national defense and was determined to keep the training and testing a lot if i may fourth two thousand u.s. authorities arrested and jailed hundreds of protesters many of whom had occupied the target area for over a year but by may thirteenth the protesters were back attempting to use their bodies as human shields to continue to disrupt military exercises during the next four years more than fifteen hundred people would be arrested and jailed for trespassing some serving up to one year in federal prison. off. i was drafted to be a guy for the civil disobedience big good friends of mine that we don't do the good we did rescue in development move my experience is important in vietnam

and me being from nigeria you would know the terrain so why you are writing is where you are and you know. in april twenty eighth year two thousand and one. there's a guy two fourteen members and i took him i was guiding them to the firings to stop their maneuvers and we were arrested after being in there for about sixteen hours. and then i was sentenced to ninety days in jail and five an elephant. the reactors for outsiders at the press all around the world everywhere so there's dave plays right now where the marshal are loans european countries south american countries look to v.a.

because that is the place that really knows our organize where as we thought it was pretty much ad libbed all the way they see it as a successful erection for us. last year all their security our bridges cost there are eleven million dollars us prajna raising the rent was sometimes helps to get rid of our lives are able to think about. figures became less important as it got more its friends and they got more expensive not only in dollars and cents for on the most papers i admire in the radio station at the rear of all the world it looked like full. i think the essence of the struggle of the people in a vehicle is to rid themselves of being used to being abused being kept in the dark to get rid of that was such

a liberating kind of thing and it was all down peacefully. and how a tiny little island could face a force as powerful as we did was intriguing but not only intriguing i was really inspirational to a lot of people. our particular kind of struggle made it possible for us to to grow to express ourselves and and to succeed. i was there i was a kid. after four years of relentless protests of civil disobedience the united states announced it was just found all bombing and levy a case on may first two thousand and three however most of the land was not

returned to kentucky cars instead it was turned over to the u.s. fish and wildlife service. i had i was destined to when we arrived at the same camp meant at midnight there was a lot of energy that the weather and when the clock struck twelve zero one an hour at that i couldn't hold back the tedious and emotions that meant endless and when the gates opened and the people began and train and i well that was a really touching moment i. really. enjoy it i don't i feel great satisfaction that i'm glad that the sec refines that we made over the last four years as was not on the plane and that the navy is no

longer in if you can escape we achieved a motor is ation what you are listening to return all of our land which now is still in the custody of the federal forces so the struggle continues and it's a big one. on the east then which is the question of the beta this time we're going to make it a wildlife rescue and according to rules that school of thought it was only for bases and critters it doesn't ask to be as clean as if it were for a full. and they're advertising the. largest wildlife refuge in the caribbean. i can. understand once and. while i read. it you guys. danger explosives. scroll across. barricades

and if you want to orlando and there was no mickey mouse. when the real complaint from somebody this large is. total fraud. we struggled for sixty years and we always talk about the four d's. nation devolution of the land development for d.c. of those four days we managed only one that we were able to close the firing range . but they're not giving the land. nothing now. has it been decontaminated no nothing if they don't give back the land if they don't decontaminated how are we going to develop it.

it can't be denied we're going to enter a critical period distinct from the previous phase when you could feel the airplanes you could feel the impacts felt your house vibrate it was irritating it was infuriating but now we're not going to feel the bombs we won't hear them we won't see them we won't feel the house vibrating. but the pollution is there the tag is in those contaminants. mixed in with the earth. but you can't see it because we have to do a study to identify it. the effects of militaries they are so deleterious are so negative. once you stop the bombing. you've got to clean up. and it's not just clean up an environment you've got sick people you have to help the people. we

are this i am working on the health issue as taken me to participate in a health commission on my role on this commission has been to try to to try to keep things on track. and to try to create for people in the agencies a living reality you know we are not dots on a graph we are people who live on the side there's a responsibility to bring home your children you know your little brother and showed it is it will want. to do is this is a big risk. but it's almost the exact the make things better. i have this moment fortunately i find that the government of puerto rico is truly

bending backwards to relieve the federal government of blame for the health situation and i don't understand it and it hurt as a member of a community that is suffering from such poor health. statistically i mean it's not it's not my for emotional feeling and the actual fact you know that we have to still keep begging for attention and services which i feel the government should have looked on as a perfect opportunity to fulfill its job in defense of the health of its people but. thank you so much for being here this evening. in this little story only. to our friends.

or even more. and also that we understand that this is a new credits and new process in d.v. i can't struggle i don't go there be a cancer women's alliance a place yet and wanted to work with the girls on how they see themselves participating in the community how can they is human leadership over what is happening in india casts. we started this exercise three or four days ago to find out how people dream about the it can't because the post office crew going to the beach having their pajama party imitating gloria trevi and jennifer lopez and all that isn't bad but if you you are the ones who have to step up and be the heroes you know jennifer lopez is not common to do the work it will be to me time ok and you need to has to be trained to do that work.

when the wow i want to prove you can is more schools and university. if i went to university i would started to be a doctor. well there were money doing for the a cast is that there would be just peace and no violence. and that there would be less pregnancies less contamination of course and that they build a cinema and. activities for the youths multi-core is the construction of the bridge from the i cast. and small factories.
